Promise Theory bridges the worlds of semantics and dynamics to describe scalable interactions between autonomous agents that form clusters and groups. It provides a broadly developed and semi-formal language, which builds on the mathematics of sets and graphs, and models intent and outcome in an impartial manner. The result is a theory that expresses a `chemistry' of cooperative behaviours for a wide range of systems, emphasizing how each new scale of cooperation leads to new phenomena and new promises.This book is aimed at scientists, philosophers, and engineers. It introduces readers to the key concepts in a practical manner, building on the foundation of voluntary cooperation as a ground state for all interacting systems. The book draws on many examples from the real world, with a particular emphasis on human-computer systems. `Promise Theory offers a methodology for generating certainty on top of uncertain foundations. This book presents the formal foundations of Promise Theory. It lays out the formalisms in a clear, concise, understandable way that makes them accessible to non-mathematicians. If you want to fully understand the conceptual mechanisms that underlie the distributed systems that make up today's "cloud services", you should start with this book.' -- Jeff Sussna, Author of Designing Delivery `[The authors] bring the rigor of theoretical physics to the science of cooperation. The application of this kind of rigor to the social sciences is a tremendous leap forward. [The] pioneering work on developing an algebra of cooperation is an idea whose time has come. A promise is not a guarantee. That said: I promise you that examining this book will stimulate your thinking about cooperation and collaboration at scale. This book covers a lot of ground: promises, impositions, invitations, games, and the peculiar dynamics of authority and authorization. Those looking for a book that applies the lessons of distributed computing to the new and emerging science of cooperation will find what they are looking for here.' -- Daniel Mezick, Author of The Culture Game and Inviting Leadership

Imagine a set of simple principles that could help you to understand how parts combine to become a whole, and how each part sees the whole from its own perspective. If such principles were any good, it shouldn’t matter whether we’re talking about humans on a team, birds in a flock, computers in a datacenter, or cogs in a Swiss watch. A theory of cooperation ought to be pretty universal, so we should be able to apply it both to technology and to the workplace. Such principles are the subject of Promise Theory, and the focus of this insightful book. The goal of Promise Theory is to reveal the behavior of a whole from the sum of its parts, taking the viewpoint of the parts rather than the whole. In other words, it is a bottom-up, constructionist view of the world. Start Thinking in Promises and find out why this discipline works for documenting system behaviors from the bottom-up.

It has many times been said that contracts involve assumptions of obligation or liability, but what that means, and what it is that is assumed, have not often been discussed. It is to further such discussion that some of the author's previously published writings around this subject have been brought together in this book. His basic premises are that contractual obligation and liability in this context are two sides to the same coin and that an assumption of one is an assumption of both. Parties are bound not because liability has been imposed upon them by law as a result of their having entered into a contract but because, in the act of assuming, they have imposed it upon themselves. Contract provides a facility the purpose of which is to enable this to be done within the limits prescribed by law. The implication of these premises are much more significant than might be supposed when applied to such areas of contract as formation, consideration, intention to contract, exception clauses, privity and damages. The book concludes with a treatment of the role of assumption in tort. Because of the importance of its subject matter and its wide-ranging treatment, this book should appeal not only to teachers and postgraduate students of contract but also to practitioners in the field and to anyone else with an interest in contract theory.

What Is Swarm Intelligence The collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems, either natural or artificial, is what is referred to as swarm intelligence (SI). The idea is used in research that is being done on artificial intelligence. In 1989, Gerardo Beni and Jing Wang were the ones who first used the expression "cellular robotic systems" in connection with their respective fields of study. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Swarm intelligence Chapter 2: Quorum sensing Chapter 3: Cellular automaton Chapter 4: Complex system Chapter 5: Collaborative intelligence Chapter 6: Artificial immune system Chapter 7: Distributed artificial intelligence Chapter 8: Global brain Chapter 9: Multi-agent system Chapter 10: Promise theory (II) Answering the public top questions about swarm intelligence. (III) Real world examples for the usage of swarm intelligence in many fields. (IV) 17 appendices to explain, briefly, 266 emerging technologies in each industry to have 360-degree full understanding of swarm intelligence' technologies.
